Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6007 /C3

The SKF 6007 /C3 deep groove ball bearing combines dimensions of 35x62x14 mm with increased C3 clearance and tolerance class P6 for industrial applications subject to thermal stress.

The 6007 /C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing from SKF’s Explorer performance class. The design is made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) and guides the rolling elements in a sturdy sheet steel cage. Thanks to its open design without integrated sealing washers, this roller bearing is particularly suitable for installations with an external lubrication circuit. Designs with oil bath or recirculating lubrication benefit from unobstructed lubricant access directly to the raceways.

What are the industrial applications for the 6007/C3 deep groove ball bearing?

Its use is primarily recommended for designs in which high speeds are combined with operational heating. Manufactured to tolerance class P6 (ABEC 3), the component is characterised by improved concentricity. In combination with the permissible temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees, the component can accommodate radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions.

What is the purpose of the C3 bearing clearance and the open design?

The internal radial bearing clearance (C3) is greater than the standard clearance. If the shaft and inner ring heat up more than the surrounding housing during operation, the increased radial clearance compensates for this thermal expansion and prevents the rolling elements from becoming distorted. As the outer ring has neither a flange nor a ring groove, the 6007/C3 deep-groove ball bearing can be easily fitted into cylindrical housing bores. When installing, ensure that the environment is clean and that the housing is suitably sealed against the ingress of dirt.
